Complete template that you fill in for your own file. The fixed text only carries the mentions the cited provisions require; the facts, choices and requests are yours. The tool does not file, serve, swear or send anything, does not choose a remedy or a deadline for you, and guarantees no outcome (Act respecting the Barreau du Québec, s. 128: “to prepare and draw up a notice, motion, proceeding or other similar document intended for use in a case before the courts”, “performed for others”, is the exclusive prerogative of the practising advocate or solicitor).

Complete template (category A). C.C.P. arts. 110, 131 and 133-134 are quoted as read by reports 06 and 13-02; the TAL rule comes from the TAL-001-E form re-read on 2026-10-21. A proof records what you did; it says nothing about whether a notification produced its effects. Québec statutes and most Québec sources linked here were read in French; English wording in this guide is an unofficial summary unless an official English text is linked.

Preuve en main is a preparation and legal-information tool. It gives no legal advice, replaces neither a lawyer nor the official form, and guarantees no outcome.
